Flashing helmet

What's the warranty on a Miller welding helmet. My just over a year old Digital Performance Series is flashing me. New batteries didn't help. What's next? Will I have to send it away for a long period, buy a new one, or is it fixable? I contacted Millerwelds.com. haven't heard from them yet.

H80N Thank you !!!
Battery's went dead out on job other day. Called wife she picked up 2-local drug store (Duracell)
Remembered talk about battery's but no choice only thing they stocked.
Well needless to say 2 days later my Elite let me down. Was under big scale doing a cast weld and after the 5th time I got flashed went to trailer & grabbed old spare helmet to finish job.
1st. Thought. Helmet going bad.
After reading thread. That's it wrong battery's.
Ordering Miller battery's today.
Thax again. Greg

Thank you! perhaps I don't need a lens. I can't mic. the old batteries, as I've already replaced them once as a precaution. The new ones are concave on the back side, I wondered if it might be a problem. Zapster on Welding Web is soon having his TIG clinic. Traveling that deep into Massachusets I expect to feel like the only Black man at a KKK convention. The language barrier is sure to be a problem. They only put an R where it doesn't belong, as in Arcadia National Park. It's a golden opportunity. I've never been in the same room with an accomplished TIG welder. This will be at least one, maybe up to six.
